Intended Use; About Your Maxprobe System - Scanprobe Maxprobe User Manual

Intended Use

The Maxprobe System is designed as a CCTV pipeline survey and inspection system and is
suitable for use in non-hazardous locations to survey 50mm to 300mm (2" to 12") pipelines
and sewers up to 120 metres in length using a full-colour video camera fitted to the end of a
pushrod. The Maxprobe System is controlled using a Maxprobe Camera Control Unit (CCU)
and is fitted with a 44mm Maxprobe camera head. Any other use deviating from or
exceeding this purpose is deemed as misuse. In the event of misuse, the manufacturer
declines any responsibility and shall not be held liable for any warranty or other claim
whatsoever.
Warning:
The Maxprobe System is not designed for use in mines susceptible to firedamp,
nor in hazardous areas with explosive gas or dust atmospheres. Surveys or
inspections where these hazards are present are prohibited.
Warning:
Operators should remain aware of their surroundings and any other sources of
danger while undertaking CCTV inspections or surveys, such as plant or heavy
construction equipment movements, exposed electrical installations, exposed
earthworks, excavations, etc.

About Your Maxprobe System

The Maxprobe System is designed to be used by suitably trained and experienced operators
from a surface location outside the pipeline, with the camera head and pushrod being the
only components to enter the pipeline under inspection. A complete Maxprobe system
consists of a Maxprobe Camera Control Unit (CCU), a Maxprobe Coiler fitted with a
Maxprobe pushrod, and a Maxprobe Camera:
•
The Maxprobe coiler consists of between 40 metres to 120 meters of flexible
pushrod (depending on the system purchased) with a robust outer jacket and a
camera head designed to visually inspect and survey 50mm to 300mm (2" to
12") pipelines. The coiler has been designed for use on exposed outdoor
locations and has a protection rating of IP56, meaning it can cope with heavy
rain and a wash down afterwards. It is not protected against dust ingress and
powerful water jets, so the use of a pressure washer may damage the coiler.
•
The camera head is sealed and rated to IP68, allowing the camera to be
submerged in liquid up to 5m deep, allowing use in flooded pipelines, drains and
culverts.
•
When opened, the Maxprobe CCU is showerproof (rated to IP54), but in
persistent heavy rain it is advisable to set up in shelter to minimise the risk of
water ingress. The Maxprobe CCU allows operators to view and record pipeline
inspection images and video, measure and document findings to an inbuilt
storage device, overlay text via the integral keyboard, and to compile inspection
reports onsite using the inbuilt reporting software. All data can be exported via
USB or and SD card, or to a mobile device using Wi-Fi or Ethernet interfaces.
